Many first-timers have questions about what to expect. Whether you’re looking to smooth out fine lines with anti-wrinkle injections, plump up your lips with dermal fillers, or rejuvenate your skin with skin boosters, we’ve got you covered. Here’s your ultimate guide to preparing for your first cosmetic injectable treatment and why choosing us will help you achieve the best results possible!
Before Your Appointment: Preparation is Key!
A little preparation can go a long way in ensuring you have a smooth and enjoyable experience. Here’s how to get ready for your appointment with us:
1. Book Your Free Consultation — Let’s Talk About Your Goals
Your journey to a refreshed, youthful appearance starts with a free consultation with our experienced and qualified injectors. During this one-on-one consultation, we’ll listen to your beauty goals, discuss your concerns, and recommend the best treatment options tailored just for you. Whether you’re new to injectables or a seasoned pro, we’ll guide you every step of the way.
2. Avoid Blood Thinners and Alcohol
To minimize bruising and swelling, it’s a good idea to avoid blood thinners like aspirin or ibuprofen, as well as alcohol and caffeine for at least 24 hours before your treatment. This ensures your skin stays calm and ready for the procedure.
3. Come with Clean Skin if possible
Arriving at your appointment with clean, makeup-free skin is important. This allows us to work more efficiently and ensure the best results.
During Your Appointment: What to Expect
At our clinic, we pride ourselves on making every treatment a positive, comfortable experience. Here’s what you can expect during your visit:
1. Tailored Treatment Plan
We believe in personalized care. After your consultation, your injector will create a customized treatment plan based on your specific goals. Whether you’re looking to smooth out wrinkles, enhance facial volume, or rejuvenate your skin, we’ll make sure the treatment is just right for you.
2. Quick, Comfortable Treatment
Most cosmetic injectable treatments take between 15 to 30 minutes. During the procedure, you may feel a slight pinch, but many treatments contain a numbing agent to minimize discomfort. Our injectors are skilled at making the process as comfortable as possible — and if you’d like extra comfort, we can apply topical numbing cream to help ease any sensitivity.
3. Results You’ll Love
The best part? The results are immediate or will appear in just a few days. Whether you’re getting anti-wrinkle injections for a fresh, youthful look or dermal fillers to enhance your features, you’ll start to notice smoother, plumper, and rejuvenated skin almost immediately!
Aftercare: Tips for Amazing Results
Our expert care doesn’t end after your treatment — we’ll help you achieve the best results with these simple aftercare tips:
1. Be Gentle with Your Skin
After your treatment, avoid touching or rubbing the treated areas for at least 24 hours. This allows the injectables to stay in place and work their magic.
2. Stay Upright for the First Few Hours
To help the injectables settle properly, it’s best to avoid lying down for a few hours after your treatment.
3. Avoid Intense Heat and Exercise
For at least 24 to 48 hours post-treatment, it’s recommended to avoid intense physical activities, saunas, or hot spa. This helps to minimize swelling and bruising, allowing you to enjoy your results sooner.
4. Use Cold Compresses if Needed
If you experience swelling or redness, applying a cold compress can help reduce it. Just remember to wrap the ice in a cloth to protect your skin.
5. No Makeup for the day
It’s best to skip makeup for the day after treatment to allow your skin to breathe and heal properly.
